Samplings of recent calls received by Clovis-area law enforcement officers, according to reports:

Around 3 p.m. April 9 officers responded to a residence in the 700 block of Walnut Street in reference to a trespass in progress.

The officer noted the house had not been kept up and appeared abandoned.

When officers stepped inside they made contact with a woman who said the woman who lived in the house had died in 2010 and had no family to take over the property so she came to take the fence. She said when she arrived, the door was open so she went inside to see if there was anything else she could take.

Officers also found a man inside the home who said he was there to help take things from the house.

The pair was arrested for burglary.
